Utterly interesting

Go behind the scenes of Return of the jedi and ask the question, how do you end a cultural phenomenon.? Return of the Jedi closed the original Star Wars trilogy with myth spectacle and compromise. From Ewoks to the Emperor and the birth of THX this is how George Lucas finished the story.

A Victorian doctor from York who chased erupting volcanoes around the world. Tempest Anderson photographed Mont Pelée, survived pyroclastic flows, and helped change how science understood volcanic disasters.

Before it became a cultural giant, Star Wars struggled with budget crises, hostile critics, and technical chaos. A calm, detailed history of how it came together.
